    keegan has his detractors, and he wasn't my first choice, but there's not a hope Big Sam would have turned around a 1 nil deficit, away from home, to what we are seeing here today.

    Everyone's playing for eachother, even the defence are keeping it tight even though we're 4-1 up.

    How the hell have Boro not scored in this second half! :confused: Amazing.


    Well ....

    I feel bad for Boro ..they deserved at least a draw .. this was the worst performance i saw by Chelsea
    since the 0-0 against Liverpool .. absolutely terrible passing by Chelsea.

    Im happy that we won, but that type of luck will only take you so far,
    I'll be happy with 2nd and united to win .. just so long as we finish above Arsenal...

    Grant is indeed a poor manager and will show (has shown) in the big games ..
    i think last week we were lucky to beat Arsenal, 1st goal being offside etc..

    Hopefully we will have Rikjaard next season ..

    I do. The last one I posted in I got 6/10 iirc. I'll post up a reply after the weekend to this one too.

    9/10, damn Newcastle, they were due it though.

    Superb performance from Newcastle. Love watching Viduka when he's in this form.
    So do you still want to see Newcastle (or Keegan) go down??

    Based on today's performance we're far too good to go down. Keegan and Newcastle will easily bring a lot more to the Premiership than, say, Bolton.

    Loved Ashley's celebrations today. London rags will probably spin it that he'd just found a buyer for the club/.

    Today was also probably the best I've seen from us since the Robson era.

    thats a bit rich considering based on yesterdays perfomances other teams relegated themselves. The fact you could have been would be most owrrying.

    So did Bolton lose to themselves yesterday or did Arsenal not beat them? Rich how? We were awesome today. 'Could have' means very little. We could have beaten Blackburn by 3 goals, could have done this, it could have been that etc etc.

    Keegan deserves a lot of credit today for the way we went at them. At 2-1 instead of trying to defend a 1 goal lead we killed the game and 'could have' scored more. I can't imagine Allardyce or any other relegation threatened team dare try that away from home.

    Too true son, but the guttersnipes will always view Keegan with contempt and wish nothing but ill on our club.

    How many posts have there been on this board since KK took over, scoffing and laughing at him? The man knows good football and goes out and trys to play the game as it should be. Look how much better we have been passing the ball lately, keeping it on the deck, retaining possession, moving forward in numbers. Allardyce beat such things out of alot of the 1st team, and implemented a hoof it up to lone man Owen policy.

    To get the boys playing the sort of football they did today, KK deserves respect.

    Stupid comment imo.

    If a team goes down, they aren't good enough for the division they have been relegated from. No matter who they are.

    That said, I think Newcastle are safe enough now.

    So, by the magic of logic, they are too good to go down!

    But not FAR too good :p

    People were saying West Ham were "too good to go down" a few years ago.

    Clearly, they weren't.

    Anybody remember Notts Forest? Anyway, I think Newcastle have a lot to think about over the summer, but that'll be a damn sight easier as a Premiership team.

    Mainly just a defense that doesn't fall apart when it gets put under pressure. If they had that they could be challenging for 5th, because Owen\Viduka\Martins backed up by Milner and N'Zogbia is as good a forward line as you'd find outside the top 4. Combined with Parker and Barton in mid, and the rest is just down to defense.

    Personally, I wanted Newcastle not to go down because of Keegan, I love Keegan, seems like a nice guy, likes good football, and always hilarious.
    I wanted them to go down because of their fans unrealistic expectations, and how the club keep firing managers without giving them a chance.

    Maybe 10 months ago give or take.

    :o

    Bugger.

    Well, in any case, Newcastle are a defense away from improving vastly. Maybe another centre mid, if Emre doesn't get his act together.
